BROOKLYN EASTERN DISTRICT TERMINAL - # 8

According to the June 1952 issue of Railroad Magazine and  
the May 1990 issue of Semaphore, there were no records of a ERT / BEDT # 8 ever existing.

The photograph below, generously furnished by Dave Keller and

(Note the location of the tugboats.
I believe the locomotive is sitting where the North 8th Street enginehouse would be constructed.)
Note the "chord" style counterbalances on the drivers, as compared to the "crescent" type in the image above.
